| Brain Fitness Activity of the Month | |
Step It Up A Notch
The task: Find an activity you like to do by yourself-such as completing a crossword puzzle or knitting-and take it to the next level. See if by concentrating and giving more effort to the activity you can succeed better or more quickly.
The reason: There is limited value in working at a game or exercise that you can perform without paying close attention. It is important to always strive to take it up a notch to a higher and more demanding level, where you re-engage the brain's learning machinery.

| Learn About Falling | |  Listen to Dr. Merzenich
Falls are the number one cause of injury in people 65+...and they can wreak havoc on health and quality of life. Most falls are caused by deficits in the three brain systems that control balance (vestibular, visual and somatasensory). Posit Science, the creators of our Brain Fitness Program, has put together a page where you can learn more about falling and listen to Dr. Mike Merzenich on how to avoid falling. Given the serious consequences that can come from a bad fall, an ounce of prevention is the way to go! |
